Frequently Asked Questions

What peptides does TSA use and at what concentration?

We use Matrixyl 3000, a combination of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 at 3% in all serums in the Ageless Lift line. Matrixyl 3000 is the gold standard of anti-aging peptides, with decades of clinical research supporting its efficacy in collagen stimulation and wrinkle reduction.

How do Matrixyl 3000 peptides work?

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 signals dermal fibroblasts to produce new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 reduces chronic, low-grade inflammation that accelerates skin aging. Together, they act on the two main fronts of structural aging.

Why is Matrixyl 3000 combined with Vitamin C in the Ageless Lift line?

Peptides send the signal to produce collagen, but the skin needs Vitamin C as an essential cofactor to synthesize that collagen. Without Vitamin C, the Matrixyl 3000 signal cannot be effectively completed. The combination of Matrixyl 3000 3% + Encapsulated Vitamin C 5% + Orchid Stem Cells 2% forms the most complete regenerating system in our range.

How long does Matrixyl 3000 take to show results?

Peptides work by stimulating natural biological processes that take time. The first visible changes in skin texture usually appear between 4 and 6 weeks. More profound changes in firmness and wrinkle reduction require between 8 and 12 weeks of consistent use.

Are peptides suitable for all skin types?

Yes. The Ageless Lift line with Matrixyl 3000 is available for oily/combination, dry, and hypersensitive skin. Peptides have an excellent tolerability profile and do not cause irritation.

Are peptide products safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Ageless Lift serums with Matrixyl 3000 are retinoid-free and safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We recommend showing the full INCI list to your doctor.

How long does the serum last once opened?

3 months from opening to maintain the encapsulated peptides and Vitamin C at their maximum potency.

Are TSA peptides encapsulated?

Matrixyl 3000 peptides are formulated with controlled-release technology, along with the serum's other encapsulated active ingredients, ensuring their stability and effective penetration.

Peptides are protein fragments, short chains of amino acids that act as biological messengers in the skin. Unlike active ingredients that directly address a problem, peptides work by sending signals to cells to carry out processes they already know how to do: produce collagen, repair skin structure, reduce inflammation. Their effectiveness does not depend on extreme concentration but on the precision of the message they send.

At The Spanish Alchemist, we use Matrixyl 3000, a combination of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 at 3% in all serums of the Ageless Lift line. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in dermal fibroblasts. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 reduces chronic low-grade inflammation, one of the most important factors in accelerated aging from within.

By themselves, peptides send a signal that the skin cannot complete without the necessary cofactors. That's why the Ageless Lift line combines Matrixyl 3000 3% with Encapsulated Vitamin C 5%, the essential cofactor for collagen synthesis, and Orchid Stem Cells 2%, which reconnect the cellular network to firm contours. The result is a regenerating system that acts on all three fronts of structural aging simultaneously.

Available for oily/combination, dry, and hypersensitive skin. Produced in daily batches and shipped within 48 hours from our laboratory in Alicante. Finish the container within 3 months of opening.

Matrixyl 3000 peptides are found in all serums in the Ageless Lift anti-aging line. Available for oily skin, dry skin, and hypersensitive skin. Complete your routine with the anti-aging cream and the cleanser. Also explore our products with Vitamin C and niacinamide.
